Diane Morgan reprises her role as Philomena Cunk in a new BBC documentary spoof series titled 'Cunk on Cinema', which follows on from previous hits like 'Cunk on Britain' and 'Cunk on Earth'. The three-part series, now in production, will explore cinema history from the invention of the camera to modern topics like CGI and AI in film. Diane Morgan and Charlie Brooker are teaming up again for the series, with filming having just begun.
The series will cover topics ranging from the invention of the camera to 1960s New Wave cinema, CGI, and AI in film. Fans have given previous Cunk series five-star reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and Morgan is also known for starring in 'After Life' and the film 'Me Before You'. Unknowns include the exact release date on the BBC, specific experts to be interviewed, whether the series will feature guest appearances, how it plans to detail AI coverage, and the production timeline.
Cinema has given the world some of the most profound, memorable and moving visual moments in its unswerving depiction of the human condition: the shower scene in Psycho, Death playing chess in that Swedish thing, and Tom Selleck's glistening moustache in Three Men And A Little Lady, to name but all three of the only examples I can think of at the moment. There will, unfortunately, be some bits in black and white, but we'll keep that to the barest minimum.
